CIEL Statement of Solidarity with UN Special Rapporteur Vicky Tauli-Corpuz - Center for International Environmental Law

The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) issued a statement on March 14, 2018, condemning the Philippine government's accusation of terrorism against UN Special Rapporteur Vicky Tauli-Corpuz and other human rights defenders.

• CIEL expresses deep concern regarding reports that the Philippine government has accused UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Vicky Tauli-Corpuz and other human rights defenders of being terrorists, viewing this as an effort to criminalize and silence their defense of indigenous peoples' rights.
• CIEL identifies a global trend where governments and corporations increasingly target environmental and human rights defenders to undermine their work, specifically noting that the retaliatory actions by the Philippine government jeopardize the safety and security of these individuals.
